The Boss Behind The Game
chapter-144

At the outskirts of Beiqi’s Evil Nightmare City.

The Myth Guild led by Gu Yu was slowly making their approach.

The current area around Nightmare City was undoubtedly where evil raged the craziest. In order to avoid attracting the attention of evil spirits, Gu Yu did not bring along with him the entire guild. Instead, he only brought about a few dozen of their most elite players.

As they got nearer to Nightmare City, Gu Yu and the others also noticed a Zombie Energy Pillar which was shooting up to the sky like a smoke signal. At the peak of the Zombie Energy Pillar, dark shadows were continuously falling from it.

Those who saw this could not help but turn their heads and glare at Hu He.

Hu He gave an awkward smile. He stretched his hand out and shook Sun Qi who in turn increased the grip of his teeth which was still clamped on his arm.

“Guy who plays with corpses, how do we get in?” asked Gu Yu who had turned to look at Hu He when they were at the city gates.

“Ahem. The layout of the area around this city gate is fake. It is actually a Zombie Poison Formation. Once a person enters, the zombie poison will penetrate his body and he will most likely die. Thus, we need to take special measures.”

When Gu Yu heard this, he felt that this kid actually had some tricks up his sleeve.

“Therefore, we will have to make our way through there!” as he spoke, Hu He pointed at the hole which he dug previously at the side of the city wall.

No one realized how easy it could have been.

“That’s it?” Gu Yu was shocked.

“Yes,” Hu He nodded.

“Kill him and send him back!”

When the guild’s subordinates heard this, they all lifted their huge blades and approached Hu He.

The veins on Hu He’s forehead were pounding, “Wait, please don’t. It’s very dangerous inside as it’s all littered with traps. Without me, you guys will never be able to get very far.”

“Are there really traps in there?”

“Yes, there are a lot of traps in there. Danger is basically everywhere!” Hu He appeared very serious.

“Alright. You lead the way. Get in!”

Then, the gamers from the Myth Guild followed Hu He as they all squeezed one by one into the hole below.

After they went through the hole, they all realized that the entire Nightmare City was covered with zombie energy. There was a very thick layer on the ground to the point where it reached their knees. Their vision was also blocked by the thin zombie energy sinking from the sky. They could only see things which were about ten feet away from them. From afar, evil low growls were even more frequent than before.

“Big Boss Gu, I’ve already helped you find Hiderigami so can you let me go now?” Hu He turned his head and asked.

“We’ll talk after we find him!” Gu Yu gave him a glare.

Hu He sighed. He then took out a pouch of powder from his bag and gave it to Gu Yu, “Big Boss Gu, this is Loose Zombie Powder. I used a part of Cha Na’s head to make this. Once you coat yourself with this, evil will not be able to notice you.”

“Oh right, don’t use too much of it as I only have this pouch,” Hu He said with pain laced in his voice.

When Gu Yu heard this, he accepted the Loose Zombie Powder and poured some out to be applied on his body. Then, he gave it to the person next to him.

[Used Loose Zombie Powder. Buffer shall remain for 30 minutes!]

“You do know some things. You must be a grave robber in real life too, right? It must have also been your ancestors’ job, or else how could you have created this class?” Gu Yu asked out of curiosity.

When Hu He heard this, he merely chuckled in reply.

According to the ancient book, those who forged zombies were far more vicious than grave robbers as digging up someone’s ancestral tomb was a common occurrence. Moreover, when they were fighting against enemies, they would secretly go to their enemy’s ancestral tomb and dig up their ancestors to forge zombie spirits out of them before fighting them head on.

Although Hu He had never felt the feeling of controlling ancestors to beat up their descendants, the thought of it was enough to pleasure him.

After everyone had applied the Loose Zombie Powder, Hu He was shocked to see that Gu Yu had thrown the leftovers into his own private space.

“Big Boss Gu, that is mine…” Hu He said with pain in his voice.

“I know. I’m just afraid that you will run away after this. When all this is done, I will return it to you. Do you not believe me?”

“I do!” Hu He grit his teeth.

Then, Gu Yu and the rest followed where Hu He pointed to begin their path toward the center zone of Nightmare City.

Due to the effects of the powder, during Gu Yu and the others’ journey, although they met with a lot of evil spirits, they all avoided them when they smelled their scent and did not make a move toward them.

“Why does this Loose Zombie Powder have this effect?” Mo Lingtian who was right behind Gu Yu could not contain his curiosity any further and asked.

“This powder was made through grinding Cha Na’s head. I added in some spiritual materials which I found in order to imitate an evil scent. After applying this, those brainless spirits will think of us as evil as well. Moreover, we would be high level evils, so naturally they would not make a move on us.”

When Mo Lingtian heard this, he nodded. However, the way he looked at Hu He changed. After all, which normal person would research these things?

After arriving at Nightmare City’s center zone, Hu He’s heart was beating fast. Now, what he was most afraid of was that Hiderigami would be gone.

Actually, he also had his own selfish reasons for bringing Gu Yu here.

What Gu Yu wanted was to kill Hiderigami while what he wanted was Hiderigami’s corpse. Both their aims could be said to not be in conflict with each other.

If he could truly obtain Hiderigami’s corpse, then even if he had to be killed and brought back to the city, he would be willing.

His thoughts were simple. After obtaining Hiderigami’s corpse, he would return to the city to concentrate and study meticulously in order to forge Hiderigami’s corpse into a zombie spirit.

When that time comes, he could leave the safe zone whenever he wanted. No one could stop him even if he wanted to go out with a handstand.

After pushing away the thick fog, the familiar bloody coffin appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Hu He took a few careful steps toward it. He nervously peeked his head out to look within it.

However, when he saw what was inside, Hu He was shocked.

All he saw within the bloody coffin was his sworn brother Little Sha lying peacefully within.

At this moment, Gu Yu and the rest walked forward as well. They, too, peeked their heads to look within. When Gu Yu saw Little Sha who was within the bloody coffin, his expression changed.

“Big Boss Gu, don’t be too hasty!” Hu He could sense a murderous aura, hence he quickly placed his hands on Little Sha’s head before giving it a strong shake.

When he felt someone shaking him, Little Sha opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Hu He in confusion.

“Good brother!” life was gradually returning to Little Sha’s eyes.

If it wasn’t because he couldn’t beat him, the current Hu He really wanted to start a fight with him. Why did the word brother sound so cheap when it came from his mouth?

“Brother Little Sha, where is Hiderigami? Where did Hiderigami go?”

When Little Sha heard this, he sat up slowly from the bloody coffin, revealing a hole at the bottom of the coffin. Everyone could see that Hiderigami was stuck inside and that he was glaring at them with his head raised high.

Everyone was perplexed.

He took Hiderigami as a cushion?

A common thought appeared in everyone’s head, and that was that this kid known as Little Sha was really brave!

“Brother Little Sha, quickly pull Hiderigami out. We need him urgently,” Hu He said with bright eyes.

“No! No!” Little Sha shook his head.

“Why?”

“I’ve turned Hiderigami’s body into a plug to block the Yin Soul Eye. Although this cannot stop the flow of zombie energy, it still has some effect. If you pull him out, the seal will be completely destroyed.”

They were confused, “Hiderigami? Plug?”

“You’re not afraid that he would ingest the zombie energy and recover?” Hu He could not help but ask.

“No. After all, I’m still here. The more zombie energy Hiderigami absorbs, the more I will absorb from him. I can guarantee that he will not recover!” as he spoke, Little Sha rubbed his chubby cheeks.

“Is there no room for negotiation?” Hu He was still slightly unwilling to take this as an answer.

Little Sha shook his head once again.

When Gu Yu saw this, he quickly cast a look at those behind him. The members of the guild then immediately understood what he meant and surrounded the bloody coffin.
